Cash remains a cornerstone of global finance, but with it comes a persistent challenge: physical attacks on ATMs and cash-in-transit operations. Criminals target banknotes for quick profit, while banks face the dual risk of financial loss and reputational damage. Traditional security measures like reinforced safes and surveillance systems only deter certain threats. Increasingly, the industry turns to Intelligent Banknote Neutralisation Systems (IBNS) - a technology that safeguards cash not by preventing theft entirely, but by making stolen currency useless.
